It sounds like you need to be constructing your own force field, completely, 
from scratch.  If you're not looking to use the existing force fields, this 
sounds like the only real solution.  You can take the time to make .xvg files 
for bonded and nonbonded interactions (see the manual), but that is probably 
just as much work and your simulations will be much slower.
